TRAVELLER MAP

I did a pass around the edges of the Imperium and tweaked the polity labels (yellow names) that appear when zoomed in. I tried to position them in non-horrible location. I also tossed one in for the Islands Cluster. Additional suggestions welcome.

Sectors away from the Imperium still need editing. Also, the government names I have for Reaver's Deep are in terrible shape. What should I use as the source for those?

A comment inquired about an updated legend to include more of the base types. After playing with updating the Legend Sector I realized that far too much space was being taken up that way. So I went back to the trusty old Spinward Marches poster and based a new legend on that. It's visible by a link in the control panel on the right.

You may notice a few consequential changes:

The layout UI and rules for the panels have changed - you can now expand/collapse any of the sections - Styles, Search, Legend and Scroll - by clicking on the header.

To implement efficiently required dropping support for IE6. Sorry, it's just not worth it.

The JumpMap API now takes an optional border parameter which allows you to drop the border. This is used by the legend to render the images "live", matching your current style.

As an FYI I've just put all of my hardcopy Traveller materials into storage. There is a slight chance that this could impact my ability to update the site, so I wanted to give everyone a warning. I haven't had to refer to them in a while but you never know.

While I was packing I did notice that the Vegan region borders on a printout of the site map did not match the Solomani Rim supplement, though. I'll try to fix those soon!
